About this Event

Our free Poetry Mic series introduces you to a varied group of talented poets who live in and around Sarasota. Plus, you never know what visiting, well-known poets may drop by the loft! Join us this week as GEORGIA COURT and JUDITH ROSNER share their work.


ABOUT THE POETS:

GEORGIA COURT has mostly enjoyed a career in words, although she took a detour into high-tech, working a few years as an IBM systems engineer. After earning her master's in journalism she was marketing director for a PBS station then ran her own PR-events company, wrote a book about event planning, published a healthcare newspaper, wrote a regular column for one of Cincinnati's daily newspapers, and taught at the University of Cincinnati. She opened Bookstore1Sarasota in March 2011. Lately she's been sharing her poetry via Substack. You can find her there under the handle @georgiacourt.

JUDITH ROSNER is the author of the poetry collection Paradigm Shift (Kelsay Books) and her work appears in literary journals such as Her Words, The City Key, The Jewish Literary Journal, The Naugatuck River Review, Soul Poetry, and in print and online anthologies. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology and retired first from a career as college professor, and then from her firm The Rosner Group, a training and consulting company that specialized in leadership development and executive coaching. She and her husband split their time between Sarasota, Florida and New York City.
